Dip At the Bottom Of A Wine Bottle

Gannett

Even if you’re not a wine drinker, there’s no doubt that you’ve noticed the dip at the bottom of most wine bottles. No, it’s not so that you will get less wine than you paid for. The reason behind this dip, otherwise known as a “punt” or a “kick-up” is because it makes your wine bottle more stable as it stands. The worse thing that can happen is that you’re enjoying your first glass of wine and suddenly, the bottle gets knocked over and all your lovely wine is spilled before you can have your second drink! Wine makers also use it to when they steam the bottles for cleaning before putting the wine inside. And another purpose that you might have noticed is that servers also use it to hold a bottle steady as they pour you a glass during your meal! Either way, it helps ensure that you’re going to get your wine, which is really the most important thing of all.
